Shoppers and passers-by were startled when a taxi crashed into a bicycle parking space outside Tampines MRT station.

Videos online show the blue ComfortDelGro (CDG) taxi resting on the pavement, with its front bonnet partially damaged.

No injuries were reported. Investigations are ongoing.

Sections of the railing were dislodged as a result of the crash, leaving a hole in its place.

At least three bicycles were toppled, with debris scattered across the ground.

The taxi, meanwhile, sustained damage to the left side of its bonnet.

A woman in yellow was seen standing by the half-open driver’s door while speaking to two men.

One of the men offered her a bottle of water, but the woman declined.
